After 29 shows and 174 competitions in nine different cities, a championship has yet to be decided in the Monster Jam Triple Threat Series East. There is a tie atop the point standings and the current third-place athlete is only eight points back. One show remains in Providence, Rhode Island, to settle the score.<\/p>\n
The series championship offers an automatic bid to Monster Jam World Finals XIX, to be contested March 23-24 at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n
The spotlight shines brightly on Justin Sipes (Megalodon\u00ae), Jared Eichelberger (Max-DTM <\/sup>) and Brandon Vinson (Grave Digger\u00ae). Coming into the final show, Sipes and Eichelberger are tied with 998 points. Vinson stands at 990.<\/p>\n Points are awarded in six competitions in each Monster Jam Triple Threat Series show \u2013 Racing, Two-Wheel Skills, ATV Racing, Donuts, Speedster Obstacle Course and Freestyle.
